Israel’s Channel 10 News claimed that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is determined to attack Iran before the US elections,” and Israel is now “closer than ever” to a strike against Iran’s nuclear installations.

Alon Ben-David, the TV station’s military reporter was granted extensive access to the Israeli Air Force this year to view its preparation for a possible attack. He reported that, “from the prime minister’s point of view, the time for action is getting ever closer.”

In Ben-David’s view, it seemed that Netanyahu was not intending to wait for the expected meeting with US President Barack Obama, after the UN General Assembly gathering in New York late next month, adding that it was not clear that there would be a meeting. “In any case,” Ben-David said, “I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay a possible attack.” [Read more…]

Russia is reported to have dispatched a naval flotilla led by the Russian destroyer, Admiral Chabanenko to cover delivery by a Russian freighter of rebuilt Russian Mi-25 attack helicopters. Syria had purchased the rebuilt helicopters, but an earlier attempt to send them was blocked in June off Scotland’s coast. Russian Defence Ministry spokesman, Vyacheslav Dzirkaln has made clear that Moscow will tolerate no interference in its traffic with Damascus. “The fleet will be sent on task to guarantee the safety of our ships, to prevent anyone interfering with them in the event of a blockade. “I remind you,” he warned, “there are no limits.” [Read more…]

Matan Vilnai told the Maariv newspaper that Israel was poised to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities although an attack would need to be coordinated with the United States.

Since UN Security Council deadlock, Moscow has despatched ten Russian warships to the Eastern Mediterranean on “planned military manoeuvres”. Led by the Admiral Chabanenko anti-submarine destroyer, the flotilla is stationed off the Southern Syrian coastline. At the same time, allied forces including special forces and intelligence have stepped up their presence in Syria.

The intended assault on this region is not new. Harold Macmillan and President Dwight Eisenhower approved a CIA-MI6 plan as far back as 1957to stage fake border incidents and providing a pretext for Iraq and Jordanian military intervention. The stated aim was to eliminate Damascus’ influential triumvirate. In order to arouse tensions in the area, Syria had to be “made to appear as the sponsor of plots, sabotage and violence directed against neighbouring governments”. This would take the form of “sabotage, national conspiracies and various strong-arm activities” all of which would be laid at Damascus’ door.

Included in the plan was the need for funding of a “Free Syria Committee”, and the arming of “political factions with paramilitary or other actionist capabilities” within Syria. The CIA and MI6 were to instigate internal uprisings using groups such as the Druze in the south, would help to free political prisoners held in the Mezze prison, and stir up the Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus.
